He has four consecutive fifty plus scores and looks unfazed while batting. His consistency keeps in a good spot and he is a very valuable asset at the top.

Lorcan Tucker

Lorcan Tucker kept Ireland in the game well in the first game. Despite wickets falling, he continued to attack and put on a nice show for the crowd that came in. He is in top form and will be fun to watch if he continues to bat like this.
